Hi Exacctnt; My objective was to get an approximate idea of how large the total punch card vote was for the two candidates state wide, so the small changes from the first (machine) recount aren't included. By the way, the four counties that the Democrats are hand recounting had these totals, (according to the links I gave above): Broward, Collier, Dade, and Palm Beach county votes: Gore Bush Hand Recount: 1,014,939 680,202 (Gore by 334,737) So if only those counties are hand counted, Gore should pick up something like 3,500 votes. But the significant thing is that the Democrats have agreed to a statewide hand count. I think that that is pretty much proof positive that they have run the numbers and know that their candidate will win such a count.
